Windham Golf Course is tucked away in Connecticut's northeast corner, enjoying a classic New England setting. Formerly known as Willimantic C.C. and The University Club of Connecticut, the original nine holes opened in 1922 and the championship golf course that exists now was completed in the 1960s. Like many of the golf courses built during that time, The Windham Golf Course's greens are smaller than on modern golf courses and they are subtly contoured. The traditional layout also features narrow fairways lined with mature oak trees and there are three that are bordered by natural spring ponds. Bunkers are strategically placed on 15 holes. The front nine provides some scoring opportunities, which you'll need before facing the tougher back nine.

Much good, much not so good

Course is aesthetically appealing. Nice fairways and tees, but greens are another story.

You dont want to putt from above the hole on any green, as they are so fast the ball will roll off the green. Many of the greens are mounded which is ok, but landing a pitch can easily result in a runoff.

I would rate the course much higher if they let the greens get a little "fuzzier" or have taller grass. Then putting would not be such a challenge, and sometimes impossible for scoring.

Overall, I wont play the course again, unless the greens have better surfacing. If improved, I'd play weekly.

My day off

I do like playing at Windham but there is a lot of people playing that should not be on the golf course. To be honest they suck, hit three four balls and don't let you go by. This is ridiculous. That's my biggest negative.

Some Great Improvements!

I played Windham back in 2022, and a trip back was not on my must do list I must admit. However, I was looking to get out on a cart before 100 degree temps were about to roll into the state, so I booked a tee time at 7:40 Tuesday morning just to get out and play. I hadn't realized that they were putting work into the course, and was very pleasantly surprised at the conditions. The place looks great, the greens rolled very true! I will definitely be adding this course now to my rotation.
